Vanstrom Improves, Survives

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Three players saw a {3-Clubs}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop and Derek McMaster had 7,000 in front of him in middle position. Jason Vanstrom was all in for 17,200 and an early player had 75,000 in the middle. McMaster threw his hands in the air and thought a bit but mucked.

Vanstrom: {6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}
Opponent: {9-Clubs}{9-Spades}

The {6-Hearts} turn gave Vanstrom trips and a near-certain double. The {a-Diamonds} didn't trouble him on the river.
